Durant, Colin Edwin and Astarta singer Inna Kovtun will have a new CD later in 2019 which will feature a completely unique and modern take on traditional Ukranian folk music, with a blend of progressive rock, ambient, and pop elements.

Colin and Jon first worked together on Jon’s album Dance of the Shadow Planets, along with percussionist Jerry Leake and violinst Caryn Lin.
